This sections explains how to configure your modem for:
■
Windows 3.x
■
MS-DOS
■
UNIX, Linux, or AIX
If You Are Using
Windows 3.x
Windows 3.x comes with a built-in communications software package,
Windows Terminal. You can use Windows Terminal to test your modem
or you can install the communications software package that is included
on the
Connections
CD-ROM.
Because Windows Terminal only supports speeds up to 19200 bps, it is
recommended that you use a third-party communications software
package.
If You Are Using
MS-DOS
Because there is no communications software built in to MS-DOS, you
must install and run a third-party communications software package to
operate your modem.
RapidComm, which is included on the
Connections
CD-ROM, contains
MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 versions of RapidComm.
You must choose the COM port to which your modem is attached in
whatever communications software package you are using.
If You Are Using
UNIX, Linux, or AIX
For instructions about how to set up your UNIX
®
, Linux, or AIX
communications software package, see the software’s installation
procedure.
